Hi,

I'm using Windows 7 x64, I've downloaded the Bootleg0039 and try opening BFE.exe but it just stopped working right away. But I can open it on another computer even without Final Fantasy VII installed.

Read first post. You need the Visual Studio 2010 runtimes libraries.

Notorious · « **Reply #2152 on:** 2012-12-05 14:08:46 »

Oh thanks Vgr, I didn't see that and thought only NET Framework is needed, I found something about Microsoft Visual at http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12008.msg167326#msg167326, so I'm going to try that

Update: Nope, after that it's still the same, I think my OS is messed up somehow, probably have to reformat the whole thing or wait to see if 0040 works

@ Notorious
I had the same problem as you i stupidly force uninstalled .Net2 on my vista pc >.< took me months to fix it but also a simple reformat will do the trick and use windows update if you don't wanna fix it manually

Hahaha I hear you, I also did the same thing with the NET Framework, uninstall, install again, didn't know Windows 7 has build-in Framework 2.0-3.5, crack my head trying to install 3.5 SP1 which didn't do anything lol. And yes I guess formatting the whole thing will be the easiest thing to do now.

^ If you want you could try this tool i think it helped me:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30135
It basically repairs them or choose to uninstall and then redwonload by windows update i think and it should be solved

... or you could still simply format again lol no harm in trying i guess

I usually do a fresh install of my OS once a year. It's like cleaning my house. The process makes me

but the results make me

Hahah yes I use to do that, is like spring cleaning, but now I only do it when there's problems like this one, installing stuff as a go along, but reinstalling all games, is a pain

We don't associate with that name. It's not legal work.

Fthomknight · « **Reply #2163 on:** 2012-12-09 01:41:06 »

Thanks... sorry to ask so many ?'s... Any update on 40? im currently downloading the mod torrent... once downloaded do i need to unzip and unppack all rar etc into the mod folder or just drop everything as is into mod folder? just hoping to have latest and greatest before i deploy fri..

Vgr · « **Reply #2164 on:** 2012-12-09 02:05:15 »

put everything as-is in the folder, Bootleg does the rest. and yes, junk-whatever its name is is illegal, ripped from other games but he didn't even do it himself, he stole it from other people who put their hearts into doing so (and I respect that, I've never seen their work be leaked except for junk and kula).

Fthomknight · « **Reply #2165 on:** 2012-12-09 12:54:14 »

Hopefully last ?'s. Ok.. followed all instructions from tifa tutorial on bootleg.... and video from EQ2Alyza. From the video i did not see the Fixed field stuf to extract... was that already included in the torrent so was automaticly done? second i followed the vid for AH audio install... will get to issue in a sec. set up loader exactly as tifa's pics 1920X1080 ...I did not check the box in bootleg for the 9999 so can i check it in the loader? The game runs all opening vides and audio work. Now apon starting to play on train station and in first battle there is no music... sound effects work but no audio. Also i saved on the train platform as soon as game started... is there a way either with save edit or something to mod char stats? ex if i wanted to raise his hp or str before first fight? Any help would be appreciated. Also if will make a lil easier .. please direct message me .. and maybe could yim or even phone call... again im deploying fri would like all up and running smooth before i cant do anything about it.. lol. Thanks again this has been awsome so far.

I'd like to say thank you so much for this program. It makes modding my beloved Final Fantasy VII game so much easier. It's been a long, long time since I'd thought to check for updated mods and thanks to this program, I've found others that I like a lot more than what I had. Can't wait for a .40 release!

PitBrat · « **Reply #2167 on:** 2012-12-09 14:42:22 »

Fthomknight,
No music on the first train platform is a known issue. The music will start after the first battle or when Cloud enters the next scene.
You can use Black Chocobo to edit save games.
In order to make this work before the first battle, you'll also need to enable the Save Anywhere function.

Hi, I have just installed FF7 with Bootleg 040RC2 (Lots of thanks to PitBrat for sending it to me! ). I tried the new Nightmare Mod but unfortunatly this mod is messed up, when I enter into a battle the game plays different battle themes like the chocobo theme in the mako reactor nº1 (wtf?) . Also background music plays only one time and then it stops. And finally the scenario where Jessie teaches you to climb and jump is bugged and you cant reach the next area.

PitBrat · « **Reply #2169 on:** 2012-12-11 00:54:01 »

When using the Nightmare Conversion, you can't use any other modifications.
Don't turn on the 9999 limit break patch.
Don't change the soundtrack. Nightmare comes with its own soundtrack.
Make sure you have all of the necessary Nightmare files. The soundtrack is a separate download.
The final release of Bootleg will better implement the Nightmare Conversion.

Vgr · « **Reply #2170 on:** 2012-12-11 02:39:40 »

The Nightmare overhaul rotates between 4 BGMs. The chocobo track is one of them. However, they were changed, so having the OST is almost mandatory. It's quite good, too.

You need to talk to Barret there, Cloud climbs down automatically then.
The battle BGM rotates because I made a script for that. If you don't have the OST that is mandatory for this mod, then you're going to have a LOT of messed up music. I have no idea what happened with your background music because it works fine for me and nobody else has reported any issues whatsoever with this.

PitBrat · « **Reply #2172 on:** 2012-12-11 18:20:58 »

I discovered quite a few bugs in the way RC2 installs the Nightmare Conversion.
Installation of the soundtrack and hardcore models was broken.
There's probably still some way to break the installation, but I think I have it pretty well locked down now.
